it depends on the parents. blue eyes are recessive, and brown are dominant. therefore, if any of your parent is brown eyed, and the other blue eyed, then the brown will dominate over the blue. it all depends on your genes!

Why Several genes control human eye color. Because of this eye color shows a continuous variation from very dark brown to green to blue. What is this an example of?

Eye color is not an example of polygenetic traits. Skin color is. Eye color is rather simple as far as genetics go (in humans). Brown (B) is dominate and blue (b) is recessive. A person with blue eyes has to have to have both genes for the color blue (bb). A person with brown eye color can has both genes for brown (BB) or one for brown and one for blue (Bb). The blue is not expressed in this case with Bb. Some people have hazel eyes but this is a variation of the blue color.

Why do you have brown eyes when both your mother and father have blue eyes?

There had to be blue eyes within your genealogy. You need two recessive genes to produce blue eyes. Still, the bottom line is, it is very possible. There are individuals in my family that have blue eyes with parents that have brown eyes.

What is an intersection set?

Here's an example. Everybody in set A has blonde hair but some have blue eyes and some have brown. Everybody in set B has black hair but some have blue eyes and some have brown. Notice that there are some people in both sets that have blue eyes. If we ask for the intersection of sets A and B we will get the people with blue eyes because that is the feature that they have in common. In this 'intersection set' there will be people with blonde hair (from set A) and people with black hair (from set B).
